31st July 2019
The summer holidays provide the perfect opportunity to get outside with friends and family and make the most of the lovely weather. They also provide an opportunity to get back to nature and some of our most basic locomotive functions. Following our family holiday to Norway and the spectacular hikes we went on, the latest FFA blog looked at the health benefits of walking and the opportunities that hiking provide. We also look back at a previous blog on outdoor activities. If walking isn't something that ignites a passion then there are plenty of other ways to keep fit by making the most of the great outdoors!
Yes, age is nothing but a number people say, so keep on moving and do what makes you tick.
To celebrate a milestone birthday, I wanted to give something back. Booked to take place on the 10th of August, I will be dropping into my 50th year with an accelerated free-fall (AFF) solo skydive. I will be doing this for a great cause - Help for Heroes, an appropriate charity. Please let me know if you would like more information or details about this and the reasons behind it. If you would like to support me in this then please visit my just giving page. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/roel-jansen?utm_campaign=pfp-share&utm_content=Roel-Jansen&utm_medium=fundraisingpage&utm_source=Facebook&utm_term=qj2qKegw7&fbclid=IwAR3FbWRE73NKOjPJoEsvC2VKg1WQhF4-mRdOyKzBgppoQRz0sPkfdp7TNyY
The deadline for charity funds to count with Skyline Events is 1 week before the skydive takes place, so the deadline is this Saturday, 3rd of August. It is a fantastic and exciting event for me, I am so close to my target!
On behalf of myself and all the soldiers helped by this fantastic charity - A massive thank you!!!!!
